The wife of Ning'an Count Xie Wen Yuan and mother of Xie Feng'an. She sent Liu Momo to the estate and planned to have the Second Young Master divorce Shen Shiqing and marry Cousin Feng. She had written a letter to Mrs. Feng. She is described as ruthless, with Zhao Surui noting that she would slaughter entire families and apply flaying and stuffing with straw if given the chance. Having Tu Nan pierce their hearts or slit their throats would be mercy compared to what the Countess would do.
